Inscription.

Welcome to Peterborough's celebration of the Millennium. This is our tribute to a rich and diverse natural heritage; to the First Nations and to the early European settlers who carved a home in the wilderness; to industries, past and present, which helped forge a community; and to local artists who continue to create and inspire.

Whether you walk, run or ride, we invite you to discover our accomplishments, explore our attractions, and enjoy our inheritance.
